The chicest way to add a finishing touch to your breezy outfits this summer? Jewelry sandals. Sexy, minimalist sandals with a little bit of jewelry adornment. Think chunky gold toe rings, colorful charms, or unexpected touches of silver. And since they’re flats, you won’t have to suffer for fashion. Shop our summer shoe MVPs below.
The first time I saw this kind of shoe, it was on the foot of a very cool fashion Instagram girl and it was these Emme Parsons sandals. I love the criss-cross detailing of the leather straps, and the subtle gold toe ring detail. It feels like your favorite pair of Tevas had a baby with your favorite jewelry brand. They come in tons of colors, but I love the black and brown versions.
I got a pair of these Tory Burch pierced slides this spring, after admiring the Pierced collection for a few years. They were the best purchase I’ve made this year! Without fail, every time I wear them I get a compliment. I have then in white, but this cobalt blue pair adds a nice pop of color to any outfit. Their Patas sandal has a little more coverage, but I love the asymmetry of the leather upper.
You can always count on Tuckernuck for a great sandal. Their edit spans a few different designers and price points, so there’s something for everyone. On the higher end, Amanu’s cognac Kibera sandals are one of the original shoes that kicked off the trend. These black and silver Marc Fisher shoes have a more casual feel, perfect for your everyday errands.
Like all great trends, you can definitely get the look for a lot less. Dolce Vita has a few standout pairs that look just as great as the Emme Parsons. I love these white Kesha sandals with delicate straps and gold hardware. And for an even more minimal look, these black Wink sandals have just two gold straps.
